DEMYSTIFYING #FOREVER (ONE SHOT)
by: IM ANYONE
Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping beauty-generally fairytales have all blinded us. Fairytales blinded us by giving, chances to believe that love is powerful enough to fall for someone at first sight and kiss her back from the dead, or is patient enough to wait a century, or is stupid enough to marry whose foot fits the shoe.
Life just does not work that way.
In reality, You will probably encouter jerks playing and fooling you around or meet a prince and have him turn into devil's spawn, or die waiting for the one.
Nevertheless, Love when you find it, will not fill what is missing in yourlife likewise what fictional stories telling you. It will not guatantee ever after, much less a happily ever after. And it will not, in a snap of a finger or a wish of a wand, make everything bright, cherry and comfortable.
Everyone nowadays think that "love can conquer all" are people deluded to think this way? or that somewhere, sometime, their one truly love-the prince charming in those fairytales-will come charging in to sweep them off to happy land? Because although we dream of true love, of the one , of mr. Right (and Ms. Right), what we really want is "forever"- the kind of relationship where you know each other more than you even know yourselves, where trust is a non-issue, and acceptance is a given; the kind that lasts until our last dying breaths, despite the arthritis, the senility, the baldness, and the toothlessness. They are not analogous.
"Forever" is not easy, or happy, or sappy. It doesnt work like instant noodles or a scratch of card. "Forever" is hard work, one that will require a ton of sacrifices, a long list of compromises, a lot of forgiveness and many many instancesof swallowing pride. It is a job, a commitment, to build a life together, "for better or worse, for richer of poorer, in sickness and in health" people applies even before merriage. The reality doesnt end in cute-meets and declarations of true love , not even in vows marrieage. It's a work in progress. Just because you've found "The One" doesnt mean you'll have "forever".
End.
This was inspired from what i have just read awhile ago. Hope it will help you face reality that forever only exists to people who works on it.
Happy reading❤❤❤
